thatG2443 inG1722 allG3956 things heG0846 mightG1096 have the preeminenceG4409. 19ForG3754 it pleasedG2106 the Father that inG1722 himG0846 shouldG2730 allG3956 fulnessG4138 dwellG2730; 20AndG2532, having made peaceG1517 throughG1223 the bloodG0129 of hisG0846 crossG4716, byG1223 himG0846 to reconcileG0604 all thingsG3956 untoG1519 himselfG0846; byG1223 himG0846, I say , whetherG1535 they be thingsG3588 inG1909 earthG1093, orG1535 thingsG3588 inG1722 heavenG3772. 21AndG2532 youG5209, that wereG5607 sometimeG4218 alienatedG0526 andG2532 enemiesG2190 inG1271 your mindG1271 byG1722 wickedG4190 worksG2041, yetG1161 nowG3570 hath he reconciledG0604 22InG1722 the bodyG4983 of hisG0846 fleshG4561 throughG1223 deathG2288, to presentG3936 youG5209 holyG0040 andG2532 unblameableG0299 andG2532 unreproveableG0410 inG2714 hisG0846 sightG2714: 23IfG1489 ye continue inG1961 the faithG4102 groundedG2311 andG2532 settledG1476, andG2532 be notG3361 moved awayG3334 fromG0575 the hopeG1680 of the gospelG2098, whichG3739 ye have heardG0191, and which was preachedG2784 toG1722 everyG3956 creatureG2937 which is underG5259 heavenG3772; whereofG3739 IG1473 PaulG3972 am madeG1096 a ministerG1249; 24WhoG3739 nowG3568 rejoiceG5463 inG1722 myG3450 sufferingsG3804 forG5228 youG5216, andG2532 fill upG0466 that which is behindG5303 of the afflictionsG2347 of ChristG5547 inG1722 myG3450 fleshG4561 forG5228 hisG0846 bodysG4983 sakeG5228, whichG3739 isG2076 the churchG1577: 25WhereofG3739 IG1473 am madeG1096 a ministerG1249, according toG2596 the dispensationG3622 of GodG2316 which is givenG1325 to meG3427 forG1519 youG5209, to fulfilG4137 the wordG3056 of GodG2316; 26 Even the mysteryG3466 which hath been hidG0613 fromG0575 agesG0165 andG2532 fromG0575 generationsG1074, butG1161 nowG3570 is made manifestG5319 toG0040 hisG0846 saintsG0040: 27To whomG3739 GodG2316 wouldG2309 make knownG1107 whatG5101 is the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of thisG5127 mysteryG3466 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484;

Colossians: Chapter 2


1ForG1063 I wouldG2309 thatG1492 yeG5209 knewG1492 what greatG2245 conflictG0073 I haveG2192 forG4012 youG5216, andG2532 for themG3588 atG1722 LaodiceaG2993, andG2532 for as many asG3745 haveG3708 notG3756 seenG3708 myG3450 faceG4383 inG1722 the fleshG4561; 2ThatG2443 theirG0846 heartsG2588 might be comfortedG3870, being knit togetherG4822 inG1722 loveG0026, andG2532 untoG1519 allG3956 richesG4149 of the full assuranceG4136 of understandingG4907, toG1519 the acknowledgementG1922 of the mysteryG3466 of GodG2316, andG2532 of the FatherG3962, andG2532 of ChristG5547; 3InG1722 whomG3739 areG1526 hidG0614 allG3956 the treasuresG2344 of wisdomG4678 andG2532 knowledgeG1108. 4AndG1161 thisG5124 I sayG3004, lestG3361 any manG5100 should beguileG3884 youG5209 withG1722 enticing wordsG4086. 5ForG1063 thoughG1487 I be absentG0548 in the fleshG4561, yetG0235 am IG1510 withG4862 youG5213 in the spiritG4151, joyingG5463 andG2532 beholdingG0991 yourG5216 orderG5010, andG2532 the stedfastnessG4733 of yourG5216 faithG4102 inG1519 ChristG5547.

6AsG5613 ye haveG3880 thereforeG3767 receivedG3880 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 the LordG2962, so walk yeG4043 inG1722 himG0846: 7RootedG4492 andG2532 built upG2026 inG1722 himG0846, andG2532 stablishedG0950 inG1722 the faithG4102, asG2531 ye have been taughtG1321, aboundingG4052 thereG0846inG1722 withG1722 thanksgivingG2169. 8BewareG0991 lestG3361 any manG5100 spoilG4812 youG5209 throughG1223 philosophyG5385 andG2532 vainG2756 deceitG0539, afterG2596 the traditionG3862 of menG0444, afterG2596 the rudimentsG4747 of the worldG2889, andG2532 notG3756 afterG2596 ChristG5547. 9ForG3754 inG1722 himG0846 dwellethG2730 allG3956 the fulnessG4138 of the GodheadG2320 bodilyG4985. 10AndG2532 ye areG2075 completeG4137 inG1722 himG0846, whichG3739 isG2076 the headG2776 of allG3956 principalityG0746 andG2532 powerG1849: 11InG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 ye are circumcisedG4059 with the circumcisionG4061 made without handsG0886, inG1722 putting offG0555 the bodyG4983 of the sinsG0266 of the fleshG4561 byG1722 the circumcisionG4061 of ChristG5547: 12Buried withG4916 himG0846 inG1722 baptismG0908, whereG3739inG1722 alsoG2532 ye are risen withG4891 him throughG1223 the faithG4102 of the operationG1753 of GodG2316, who hath raisedG1453 himG0846 fromG1537 the deadG3498. 13AndG2532 youG5209, beingG5607 deadG3498 inG1722 yourG3588 sinsG3900 andG2532 the uncircumcisionG0203 of yourG5216 fleshG4561, hath he quickened togetherG4806 withG4862 himG0846, having forgivenG5483 youG5213 allG3956 trespassesG3900; 14Blotting outG1813 the handwritingG5498 of ordinancesG1378 thatG3739 wasG2258 againstG2596 usG2257, which was contraryG5227 to usG2254, andG2532 tookG0142 itG0846 out ofG1537 the wayG3319, nailingG4338 itG0846 to his crossG4716; 15 And having spoiledG0554 principalitiesG0746 andG2532 powersG1849, he made a shewG1165 of them openlyG3954, triumphing overG2358 themG0846 inG1722 itG0846. 16LetG2919 noG3361 manG5100 thereforeG3767 judgeG2919 youG5209 inG1722 meatG1035, orG2228 inG1722 drinkG4213, orG2228 inG1722 respectG3313 of an holydayG1859, orG2228 of the new moonG3561, orG2228 of the sabbathG4521 days : 17WhichG3739 areG2076 a shadowG4639 of things to comeG3195; butG1161 the bodyG4983 is of ChristG5547. 18Let no manG3367 beguileG2603 youG5209 of your rewardG2603 inG1722 a voluntaryG2309 humilityG5012 andG2532 worshippingG2356 of angelsG0032, intruding intoG1687 those things whichG3739 he hathG3708 notG3361 seenG3708, vainlyG1500 puffed upG5448 byG5259 hisG0846 fleshlyG4561 mindG3563, 19AndG2532 notG3756 holdingG2902 the HeadG2776, fromG1537 whichG3739 allG3956 the bodyG4983 byG1223 jointsG0860 andG2532 bandsG4886 having nourishment ministeredG2023, andG2532 knit togetherG4822, increaseth withG0837 the increaseG0838 of GodG2316.

20WhereforeG3767 ifG1487 ye be deadG0599 withG4862 ChristG5547 fromG0575 the rudimentsG4747 of the worldG2889, whyG5101, as thoughG5613 livingG2198 inG1722 the worldG2889, are ye subject to ordinancesG1379, 21(TouchG0680 notG3361; tasteG1089 notG3366; handleG2345 notG3366; 22WhichG3739 allG3956 areG2076 toG1519 perishG5356 with the usingG0671;) afterG2596 the commandmentsG1778 andG2532 doctrinesG1319 of menG0444? 23WhichG3748 thingsG3056 haveG2076 indeedG3303 a shewG2192 of wisdomG4678 inG1722 will worshipG1479, andG2532 humilityG5012, andG2532 neglectingG0857 of the bodyG4983; notG3756 inG1722 anyG5100 honourG5092 toG4314 the satisfyingG4140 of the fleshG4561.
